Some people think it is more correct to use subject pronouns after ‘to be’ , but this sounds very formal and old-fashioned有些人认为to be后面用代词的主格形式更正确，但这种用法听起来非常正式而且已经过时:It is I.是我。I knew it was he.我知道是他。In writing, subject pronouns are more often used after the verb ‘to be’ , especially if there is a following relative clause在书面语中，尤其是后接关系从句时， to be后更常用代词的主格形式:It was he who first suggested the idea.是他首先提出了这种观点。 | | | | | |
